Leading training simulator provider ThoroughTec Simulation will be
demonstrating their advanced fourth generation CYBERMINE simulator at the upcoming
International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC) in Melbourne, Australia.

To be held 23-25 September at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition
Centre, IMARC is one of Australia’s premier international mining events.

ThoroughTec will be showcasing the simulator on the PwC Australia stand
as part of the professional services firm’s strategy to show its diversity and
commitment to mining. Greg Lew, Executive Vice President and Director of Global
Business Development at ThoroughTec said it was an honour to be invited by PwC,
a firm with a long and distinguished history of providing services to the
mining segment, similar to their own commitment to the global mining industry.

CYBERMINE simulators are designed to improve safety and productivity for
mine vehicle operators in surface or underground mining environments. Recommended
for training and evaluating novices in the proficient operation of heavy machinery,
providing a new-recruit screening system and effective refresher training for
experienced operators, the training simulator can also be used to train
operators on how to react in emergency situations, which is not possible on the
actual mining equipment.

The 4th generation CYBERMINE simulator features an accurate replica of
the vehicle’s cab, a motion platform with three or six degrees of freedom and a
270° or 360° panoramic, high resolution projection display system with surround
sound audio. A feature rich instructor station controls all aspects of training
and evaluation in real time.

ThoroughTec will also be demonstrating their Sandvik DD420 underground drill
rig simulator at IMARC. Simulators for this popular drill rig model are being
employed at mines and training facilities in Australia, Canada, Indonesia,
South Africa and the USA. ThoroughTec offers simulators for over 25 Sandvik
models.

ThoroughTec offers one of the broadest ranges of simulated vehicles in
the industry for all the major OEMs including Atlas Copco, CAT, Joy and
Komatsu.
